Selective Journalism

The deception with tact
Just what are you trying to say
You've got a blank face which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
--The Fixx

CNN contacted a San Diego TV station last week requesting a local view of the debate surrounding the border wall. When it became apparent that the local report was not negative on the wall, CNN declined to pick the report up, as noted by the station on-air.

Thursday morning, @CNN called the KUSI Newsroom asking if a reporter could give them a local view of the debate surrounding the border wall and government shutdown. After we informed them about our past reports, they declined to hear from us.
